Comparison Review

The Subaru Solterra offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Toyota 4Runner, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Subaru Solterra and the Toyota 4Runner.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Subaru Solterra will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota 4Runner.

Dimensions
Since the Subaru Solterra is much slimmer than the Toyota 4Runner, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Subaru Solterra, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota 4Runner.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Solterra has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
The Subaru Solterra has much lower torque than the Toyota 4Runner, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
